Where are the best unis to row (not Oxbridge)

My DD2 (just finishing y10) takes her rowing v seriously and is determined to continue at university. Where are the best rowing unis in the uk? At the moment she wants to study vetinerary sciences or zoology, although in reality I think it's quite early days for degree subject choice. I'm just interested in a general steer as to where rowing is properly supported.

Well there are only about 6 vet schools (I think) so look at them. Durham is good for rowing but no vet school. Royal Veterinary College good for vet med but not near a river. You can look at Bristol, Nottingham and Liverpool for vet med. Not sure what they offer on the Avon, the Trent and the Mersey. Then there's Cambridge. Problem solved.

This was my daughter's request as well for her university - no rowing = not a contender! She is looking at Economics so perhaps has a little wider availability than vet/zoology but the ones we have found that have good facilities are; Durham, Bath, Bristol especially. Warwick has a rowing club but it seemed a little less part of the whole sport's programme. Ruled out Surrey and St Andrews because of their lack of rowing...

I would lean towards Nottingham. Google British rowing and look at the Start programme. There's a list of the dozen universities involved on there, any of those would make sense but I'd be inclined to Nottingham because of the national centre.

Bristol university do offer rowing (have male and female teams) as well as a vet school (also have Zoology degrees too).Annual public events e.g. Bristol boat race at the harbourside (Bristol uni versus UWE).

A word of warning.At a similar age I would have said similar things about DS: he was very keen on and very good at his sport. Scroll on a few years and he hardly plays now. He was fed up with getting up at 6:30 for training but, more to the point, he has realised that the competition is immense. His University has about 24,000 undergraduates: take out half of them (the opposite sex), take out 99% who aren't interested and that still leaves you competing against 119 other people for that spot in the team. He didn't fancy paying hundreds of pounds and missing out on partying to possibly play Thirds or Fourths.He works out at the gym instead these days.

Decorhate - I stand corrected. Although in fairness we did request the prospectus where we didn't find any specific information on it nor did we find it easy to locate on the website. With my DD being adamant that rowing had to be a main part of her university life, she just felt that other universities were offering more to her in this area (rightly or wrongly). She is pretty involved in the sport and would like to be training up to 6 days a week - so probably a bit overly concerned about the extent of university rowing

Does she specifically want to row in university boats? Because if she's not fussed, there are of course lots of good non-university rowing clubs, too. When I was at Oxford, several friends rowed for a town club rather than within the university.
